The section of Economic Biology has been augmented by 
the purchase of twenty glass jars containing specimens 
illustrating -the Life-history of the Cockchafer Beetle 
( Melolontha vulgaris), and the Golden Chafer ( Cetonia aurata) 
in one jar ; and models of three species of mushrooms, 
Agaricus campestris, A. phalloides, and A. pantherinus, the 
latter presented by the Norwich Museum Association. 
A number of examples of typical Rocks have been acquired 
for the purpose of forming a collection illustrative of the study 
of Petrology. Typewritten descriptive labels are being placed 
with each group of rocks and smaller labels with each specimen 
pointing out its characteristics as well as giving the name and 
locality. The labels are based on L. Fletcher’s ‘ Introduction 
to the Study of Rocks ’ (British Museum Guide), and 
F. Rutler’s ‘ Study of Rocks’ (1904). 
An interesting addition to the collections in the Keep 
illustrating the history of man in early times, is a series of 
South African Stone Implements collected and presented by 
Colonel Feilden, C.B. A number of the specimens are roughly 
fashioned weapons of Cape Sandstone taken out of a brick- 
earth deposit at Stellenbosch, indicating a very remote period ; 
others are “ Kitchen-middens ” from the Cape Flats and 
Table Bay. representative of a stone-using people who were 
actually in touch with civilization as represented by the first 
Dutch settlers in South Africa. 
The total number of visitors to the Museum was 111,509 
during the twelve months ending December 31st, 1907.
